CAP #3 In the last few classes, we have developed ways to find areas for a variety of geometric figures. Using geoboards, dot paper, rulers and scissors, you found areas of squares, rectangles, other parallelograms, trapezoids, triangles, and circles. In this CAP, write a short reference paper on finding areas of these figures. Describe for a reader who was not in class how you developed these formulas and what they mean. In addition, describe how the formulas relate to each other. Make the case to the reader that the only formula that someone needs to know in order to find the area of any one of these figures is: Area = base times height. In your narrative, be sure to explain (briefly) the meaning of each of the terms or concepts you employ; do not assume that the reader will know. In addition, provide diagrams and a few examples to illustrate your points.
